Nothing stared at Nea with his eyes wide opened, his eyes filled with shock, worry, and a little hatred. However, Nothing tried not to show any hatred in front of Nea no matter what.
If he accidentally let out even the slightest bit of malice, Nothing would definitely be killed. But wait, Nothing could still revive after death, so why was he afraid of death?
It was probably because he was afraid of the feeling of being killed. He never wanted to experience that kind of pain ever in his entire life.
Therefore, Nothing forced himself to smile innocently and asked:
"May I know why?"
"Because we don't want to. Who would help someone who killed our comrades? You should feel lucky that you haven't been killed, but you're about to be killed by me anyway." The hateful Centaur still used a contemptuous tone when talking to Nothing.
Even though Lucifer was just listening to the conversation from within a bush, he still couldn't help but feel annoyed and unpleasant by the monster's words.
If possible, Lucifer just wanted to kill that monster right away.
But wait, why didn't he do it? After all, it was his plan B.
'Do it Nothing, we will move to plan B!' Lucifer used telepathy to convey his thoughts to Nothing.
Receiving the order, Nothing curled his lips, making a contemptuous smile towards the Centaur.
While Nea was still blabbering about various things that no one gave a shit about, Nothing just carefully placed his hand on the Dagger Of The Night that was on his waist without letting himself be discovered.
Without wasting a single moment, Nothing immediately pulled out the Dagger Of The Night and pointed the dagger at the monster. The Dagger Of The Night charged towards the Centaur's chest like a gust of wind, but Nea managed to dodge the dagger so that it wouldn't stab him in the middle of his chest.
But in return, the dagger stabbed the monster's abdomen. A pool of blood began to flow from that wound, the expressions of all the Centaurs that were gathering near the statue instantly became more serious.
They no longer had the same mocking attitude towards Nothing as before. Right now, they just wanted to kill the black-haired boy right away.
'Is that enough, Lucifer?' Nothing used telepathy to ask.
'Yeah, now run as fast as you can!'
Without hesitation, Nothing immediately took back the Dagger Of The Night that was currently surrounded by a warm orange flame and started using all his physical strength and stamina to run as quickly as he could.
His destination was of course the base that was currently occupied.

Clark, Damian, and Lynja had yet to notice the danger that was approaching them. They were still leisurely roasting the meat that was supposed to belong to Lucifer.
Right now, the three of them were sitting on the ground, gathered around a fire and surrounded by a fragrant smell of roasting meat. It was as if they were camping.
"Wow, we're so lucky to have found this place, aren't we?" Damian said.
"Yeah, who would have thought we'd find a place that was safe, had traps set up, and even had a lot of meat?" Clark said happily.
"Wait guys, where do you think the person who built this place is? I'm pretty sure the person who built this was one of the people who participated in the 2nd Trial with us." Lynja said while holding a piece of medium rare meat.
"What does it matter where he is? Why should we care about his life or death? It's not like we know him, right?" Damian said while eating.
"Wow Damian, you're so mean." Clark said.
Then, they started laughing and enjoying the juicy and fatty meat together, not realizing that death was getting closer by seconds.
When the three of them had eaten more than half of their meat, they were suddenly forced to stop because they heard a loud and weird noise coming from afar.
The noise became louder and louder, indicating that something was approaching.
They had no choice but to put down their meat and pick up their weapons, ready to fight at any moment.
Their eyes flashed with seriousness but also a bit of worry, their bodies were trembling slightly but their hands holding their weapons were still very steady. They had been trained since they were kids, thus, they didn't have to worry about anything.
The noise became louder and louder.
And finally, Clark, Damian, and Lynja were able to recognize the source of the noise.
In the distance, more than 50 ferocious Centaurs were sprinting towards their base with deadly eyes, leading the monsters was a black-haired boy whom they had never seen before.
But for some reason, that person's face gave the three of them a familiar feeling.
"Clark, what should we do? We can't fight against those monsters!" Damian said loudly.
Clark's body trembled even more than before, he had never felt this frightened before. He could sense that death was closer than ever.
"Am I going to die... am I, a person with a powerful and wealthy family is going to die?"
Clark only needed to look at those monsters to understand that the three of them would have no chance of fighting them. Therefore, Clark and his companions could only run away and hope that they would not be killed.
"Everyone, run!" Clark screamed and started to accelerate.
But it was too late. There was no way a human could win a race against a Centaur.
A Centaur immediately pinned Damian's body to the ground. Then, the monster stomped him hard with its two front legs, creating two large holes in the bastard's body.
Damian was dead.
Witnessing the sacrifice of his comrade, also known as the friend that Clark had known for many years, he did not feel any sadness or regret.
Instead, he felt lucky that it was not him who died. But his luck did not last long when another Centaur snapped Clark's neck right after.
Clark's head rotated 360 degrees and was finally separated from his neck with a great force.
Lynja was the last survivor, but for someone like him to have to fight more than 50 monsters was something impossible. So he deciđe to end his life by beheading himself.
***
Clark, Damian and Lynja were all dead and Nothing had long since disappeared, but the Centaurs didn't stop. They didn't leave, but instead stood there and ate the flesh of the three unfortunate people.
The faces of those monsters showed satisfaction and happiness. Which was quite disgusting for Lucifer, who was now sitting in a bush that was not quite near their base or too far from it.
Lucifer gasped as he witnessed the scene that seemed straight out of a horror movie.
'What did I expect anyways? Even though they have human bodies, they are still monsters.'
While Lucifer, Nothing, and Volcanic Slime were still observing everything from afar, an unexpected event happened to them.
While Lucifer and Nothing weren't paying attention, Nea somehow discovered where they were hiding. Currently, the monster was standing behind Lucifer, Nothing, and Volcanic Slime without making a sound.
Noticing the suffocating murderous aura coming from behind, Lucifer slowly turned his head around. And what he witnessed made him almost faint from fear.
'Why…'
